Are you a Girly Girl?? Scrappy Frogs Challenge

Hello peeps!! I guess your shocked to see me back so soon hee hee!! I normally don't post two things on the same day but it turned out that I had two challenges to hit at the same time!! I made this card for Scrappy Frogs Challenge Blog. Our challenge this time is girly girl. I used the cute flip flops and sentiment from Deedee's Digis. I love this sentiment it fits me so well! I love my flip flops and wished I was able to wear them year around! I decided to change things up a bit with my image. I used the sentiment as my focal point and the flip flops as a embellishment! The butterflies are from a Martha Stewart punch and I embossed them using the Cuttlebug Embossing Folder. I wished I had something to make little antennas for them but after searching thru the house I came up empty handed! I made a boo boo that I could claim that I intended to do but I guess I will fess up! On the flip flop I used my nesties to cut the image out but screwed up and used the the scallop instead of the plain circle and didn't realize till I started to glue the two together!! It really wouldn't have been to big of a deal but I had done messed up coloring the flip flops at least twice and was starting to get just a little frustrated! So, I decided to go ahead and kinda rotate the two scallops so that the blue would show thru some and I think it turned out ok! I added a little clear gem to the flip flop but not sure if that shows up in my picture (for some reason I hard a hard time with the lighting when I took this) I added some ribbon (gasp, I'm not a big ribbon user) and tied a tiny bow (which I'm not good at either hee hee). The paper is by Paper Studio (some more my mom bought me). I don't know if ya'll have noticed on the last few cards I've been making I've got to where I like some white showing on my card. Just wondering do you like to do that or is it just me? We would love to have you come play along with us at Scrappy Frogs and I hope you like my take on the challenge!

I can't claim to be much of a girly-girl, but I do love this beautiful card you have made, Leanne! Such cheery papers, and I *love* those embossed butterflies! That is what I would call a happy accident with your Nesties -- it looks darling with the rotated scallops and just the bit of blue peeking through! Hugs, Deedee
